My boyfriend and I stayed in a primitive spot for three nights Labor Day Weekend. Some spots were definitely too close together but we were spread out and there weren’t a lot of campers in the primitive spots. The spots were within walking distance to the bathrooms and the lake which you could swim and kayak in. You could also walk to the showers (located behind the bathrooms-they give you a code to access)and main office but this was a bit further out. The main office has ice and fire for sale which was convenient.

Some things to note:

-They stop selling firewood at 5 pm and nowhere in town sells it (we asked EVERY store). If you want a fire but won’t arrive until after five you might call to see if you can purchase over the phone (not sure if they will). They delivered the wood right to our site and we feel it was reasonably priced.

-The gate into the campgrounds locks after 7pm but they give you a code to get back in. They also had people driving around in golf carts surveying the area which was nice. We felt safe leaving our stuff to go into town which was conveniently located next to I95 and about a 10 minute drive from the campsite.

-Alcohol apparently isn’t allowed in this campground. We brought some in anyway but we weren’t there to party. I don’t imagine this site would be good for a crowd looking to have a good time.

-The raccoons and possums at this campsite are straight up TERRORISTS and aren’t afraid to steal your food day or night! They even managed to lift up the top of one of our coolers and stole some of our food out of there so you know they know exactly where to look for it. I was really surprised the campground didn’t warn us about this on their handouts. Store your food in your cars, dump your trash before bed, and don’t leave any food out! The trash can they provide has a top but it isn’t big enough to hold everyone’s trash. If it doesn’t fit find another trash can! The coons will get into it and leave a mess which isn’t fair for the workers to have to clean up.

-If you plan on bringing your own kayak/paddle board, the lake is a nice little venture but it doesn’t take long to paddle the whole thing. They state if you want to use the lake you have to pay $5 per person but didn’t have anyone regulating this. There’s a bridge that you need to go under to access the whole lake on the right hand side if you do decide to launch. We didn’t get in the water while paddling. Too murky and it looked liked rock formations were everywhere. I wouldn’t recommend diving in.

• There is no grass in these primitive spots. Only dirt. Also the ants were really bad here. Definitely plan for that.

All in all the site was nice and we had a good time disconnecting.
